Danny Posada is the President and CEO of Epicc Vascular of the Rio Grande Valley. He is a life-long resident of Harlingen, Texas. He has been in the healthcare setting for over 20 years. He began his career as a Paramedic serving both the upper and lower Rio Grande Valley. Vascular access proved vital in emergency settings and starting IV’s in a moving ambulance, although a challenge, optimized his skills and gained him expertise. Danny’s nursing experience include Med-Surg, ICU, Pediatric, Administration, LTAC’s and his steady “true north” of ER. In many instances, Danny was often called over to various floors to aid with vascular compromised patients.

In his administrative roles, Danny implemented a steadfast, interactive training and mentoring program for his staff. It allowed novice nurses to gain knowledge and immediate feedback from experienced mentors to steadily produce confident nurses. He feels that empowering nurses with hands-on, interactive training while keeping communicative relationships between students and mentors not only ensure but optimize patient safety and outcomes.

As the program progressed, Danny discovered his passion for teaching. He instructs classes for various certifications including BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, etc. He also plays an active role in community awareness…most recently, advocating and promoting the “Stop the Bleed” Campaign.
